Head Gaskets
The head gasket is one of the most critical seals in your engine. It sits between the cylinder head and engine block, sealing combustion chambers, coolant passages, and oil galleries. A compromised gasket can cause overheating, white exhaust smoke, coolant in the oil, or a loss of power.
When choosing a replacement, several factors matter:
- Material: Composite gaskets work well for stock rebuilds; multi-layer steel (MLS) gaskets offer greater strength for turbocharged or high-compression engines.
- Thickness: Thicker gaskets can slightly lower compression, useful after deck machining, while thinner gaskets may bump compression for performance.
- Fitment: Always verify the gasket matches your engine's bore size, bolt pattern, and year range.
Browse our collection to find the right head gasket for your vehicle. Whether you're doing a simple repair or a full performance build, a quality head gasket is essential for reliability.

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket provides maximum sealing performance for high-output 4G63/T engines. It is designed to withstand the extreme cylinder pressures of forced induction and high-compression builds without the need for additional sealants. The gasket fits select 1989-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Galant, and Eagle Talon models.
Engineered for durability, the gasket consists of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber capable of resisting temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). This construction allows the gasket to rebound and resist the shearing forces created by the different thermal expansion rates of aluminum heads and cast iron blocks. The 0.051" thickness and 87mm bore make this an ideal choice for performance builds requiring precise compression and bore clearance.
- Manufacturer Part Number: C4235-051
- Bore Size: 87mm
- Compressed Thickness: 0.051"
- Material: Viton-coated Embossed Stainless Steel (MLS)
- Application: Resists corrosion and conforms load distribution across the sealing area
- Installation: Requires no sealants and creates less bore distortion under clamp load

Engineered for high-output environments, the Cometic MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Head Gasket provides superior sealing for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron engine configurations. This gasket consists of multiple embossed layers of stainless steel, with outer layers coated in Viton—a heat-resistant fluoroelastomer capable of withstanding temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). The multi-layer design creates a structural rebound effect that resists corrosion and manages the shearing forces created by different thermal expansion rates between the cylinder head and engine block.
The Cometic C4182-030 is designed to require less clamping load compared to traditional gaskets, which reduces bore distortion and ensures even load distribution across the entire sealing surface. The uncoated stainless steel center shim allows for precise thickness control to meet the specific requirements of your performance build.

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket provides a superior seal for high-output B-series engines. Engineered to withstand the shearing forces created by aluminum heads on cast iron blocks, it utilizes multiple layers of embossed stainless steel for maximum strength and rebound. The outer layers are coated on both sides with Viton, a fluoroelastomer rubber capable of resisting heat up to 250°C (482°F), ensuring a reliable seal even in harsh combustion environments. Designed for an 84mm bore, this gasket requires no additional sealants and promotes even load distribution across the sealing surface to minimize bore distortion.
